RMV Agreement: Korean License Conversion

MassDOT RMV has entered into a reciprocal agreement with the Republic of Korea to convert valid Korean licenses, equivalent to a Class D, to Massachusetts Class D licenses.

Upon conversion, the Korean license must be surrendered to the RMV to be stored at the Korean consulate.

As part of this agreement, a Massachusetts resident who moves to the Republic of Korea will also be allowed to convert his/her Massachusetts license to a Korean license.

To convert a Korean license, you must:

Be at least 18 years of ageMeet the Massachusetts residency requirementsMeet the RMV’s identification requirementsProvide a Korean driving record indicating that you are currently licensed to operate a passenger motor vehicle

This driving record is only available in the Republic of Korea. If you do not have one, you cannot convert your Korean license and will need to take a written test and a road test.

If the driving record has any points due to driving offenses, the Korean consulate will provide an addendum to the driving record to explain each driving offense. You must present this along with the driving record. Procedures are listed after the break.

Obtain a Korean Driver’s License Translation completed and stamped by the Korean consulate.

4. Surrender your Korean license to the RMV for storage at the Korean consulate.

Your Korean license will be stored at the Korean Consulate and will be returned to you if you intend to permanently return to Korea. If you make a temporary visit to the Republic of Korea, the Korean Consulate will return your Korean license and hold your Massachusetts license until you return.
